On my last post, it was soya bean curry which had impressed my family members alot. Therez the next comes the soya appetizers. Now this is what I call 2 in 1 recipe :) . I had kept a half cup of cooked soya aside to prepare somthing different delight for kids who hate having the nutritious food. Just throw in any type of veggie with a touch of garam masala and finish it off with shallow fryed soya crisps. I did with simple coating of riceflour and fryed. It tastes even better when its dipped in beaten egg mixture and then rolled in breadcrumbs and lastly deep fryed. Do try this awesome healthy snack and try giving to ur kids with their fav dipping.

INGREDIENTS.

1/2 Cup Cooked Soya bean.

2 tbps Chopped Onions.

1 tbsp Grated Carrots.

1 tbsp Grated Beans.

2 tbsp Chopped Soya nuggets (Optional).

1/4 Cup Mashed Potato.

2 Cloves of Garlic.

1 tsp Garam masala.

Pinch of Turmeric Powder.

Salt and pepper to taste.

Oil for shallow fry.

Rice flour for coating.

Chopped Coriander leaves.

METHOD.

Place cooked soya in a plate and remove the outer skin just giving pressure with 2 fingers. Because the skin does not get mashed up. So its better to remove them when its used for these type of recipe.Mash soya and potato together. Keep it aside.In a pan, add 1 tsp oil. Add garlic, onions, carrots, beans and fry for a min adding a pinch of salt, turmeric and garam masala pd.Drop these mixture into mashed soya and potato. And finally with coriander leaves. Mix well. It gets thickenen. Then make small balls and flatten them. Just the way we make aloo tikkies.

Heat oil in a pan for shallow fry. Meanwhile spread rice flour on a plate. Coat those flatten tikkies into flour and drop them carefully into oil.
